All year through, we work hard and wait for that time of the year, that is, the holiday season, when we just sit back, relax and have fun. This is very true that holidays are meant to have fun. But, during this span of the year, most of us loose control of our eating habits. We think “it's only a few days” and we want to enjoy this time to the fullest. But, do we think twice, that how much our eating habits in the holiday season can hamper our health!
This celebratory air often leads to excess eating. Just because holidays have arrived, you don't need to increase your exercise regime or go for a diet control. Adopting a healthy, nutritionally sound eating habit throughout the year will help alleviate the infrequent excesses that are a part of normal life. It is commonly assumed that increasing exercise duration and/or intensity during holidays can help burn the extra calories that we put up due to excess eating. No matter, what you eat and how much, that together effect your long-term health, in terms of maths, there is a certain truth to this common belief, that is, if you ate 500 calories too many it goes to follow that burning 500 calories is a seemingly simple solution to balance the caloric scales. This is, however a dangerous paradigm. You may go without checking your nutritional consumption and doing exercises and diet control for a continuous period of time. This may indulge more on binge eating over time. Encouraging a habit where you can “let go” and then “buckle down” afterwards creates a repetitive and uneven pattern of lifestyle that can be taxing, unhealthy and addictive.
So, during your holiday time, you can go for excess eating, but, if you think that you will balance the extra calories by exercising hard and controlling diet for that period of time, then, keep in mind these few questions. What happens after the diet or intense exercise ends? Has the diet or exercise taught you how to act within your nutritional or physical needs? Is the diet or exercise plan of the moment meant to be a long term gig? If it is not long term, then you are still left with the need to investigate and understand for yourself – how much is too much and how little is too little so that you can live the healthiest, and most satisfying life possible.
It is advisable that instead of putting up a plan of exercising hard and controlling diet for a particular span of time, it's better to make it a regular practise. If you take a nutritional diet and exercise the whole year through, you will naturally stay fit and healthy. Your diet and exercise regime should be for a long period of time. Along with this, also check up your nutritional consumption on a regular basis.
In the holiday season, there can be excess eating. But, don't try to balance the extra calorie intake with an intense and hard exercise routine or any quick fix. This can be fatal. Instead, include healthy and nutritious diet in your daily routine and along with that do some exercises regularly. This will help you even at that period of time when you indulge in irregular and unhealthy eating.
